ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
Teresa Toulouse (M.A. ’73, Ph.D. ’80) relocated to Boulder from New Orleans
following Hurricane Katrina after living there for 28 years. As director
of Tulane University's interdisciplinary program in American Studies,
Terry taught a course on New Orleans with architect and historic
preservationist Malcolm Heard. They focused on how food, architecture,
music and ritual combine to create a distinctive cultural "system" in
New Orleans, and emphasized its fragility in the face of multiple
internal and external stresses. Concerned about the ways in which
historical and cultural memory matter to a community's
self-understanding and its motivations to act on its own behalf, she
recently designed a similar course at CU about Boulder.
Kristin Lewis (M.A., 1975, Univ. of California, Berkeley) has been a principal with Kristin Lewis Architects since 1982 and has designed many renovations and restorations of historic structures in Boulder and elsewhere. She serves on the Board of Directors of Historic Boulder has been a board member of the Chautauqua Association. She is actively involved with ongoing historic preservation projects in Boulder.
